lazy sunday.

this is so unlike me. 2 posts in the span of less than 24 hours.

i have to report that i had time to sleep in, take a short stroll through the sunday market and have lunch at cibo!! yummy sandwichy stuff with coffee. cibo's coffee is pretty lengendary.

anyhow, we went to the east end cellar shop to pick up a few bottles of red for my mummy. decided on a 2 straight up cab sauv - one from coonawara and one from Margareta river, as well as a blend from barossa.

came back to vic's. and nua-ed in bed with my lappie. whilst the poor boy was hard at work, trying to cram in all the details regarding o&g. poor kiddo. hurhur, well it'll be my turn to suffer next sem so i think i better shuddap right about now.

gonna make fried rice for dinner! woo hoo!... it's seriously one of the best one dish meals to do. the other would be stir fried noodles. followed closely by pasta.

the season finales for house n greys are now over. what am i going to watch until the next season starts - if it starts at all? sigh.

Anyhows... that's all for now. no more blogging! coz i need to do my laundry. eeick.

odds and ends..

with regards to the rehab presentation, all i can say that it was over. basically, it was an exercise to determine how well you could

1. follow instructions
2. recite from paper
3. answer questions.

the consultant who was in charge of grading our presentation..was extremely disinterested. At times, we caught him dozing off etc in the middle of a student's presentation! which i think, is extremely rude. the poor RMO and registrar with him had to take over the question asking and all..

His disinterest led to the cancellation of the afternoon tutorial (on osteoporosis.) rendering us forever FREE from the clutches of rehab/geries.

Next week, we proceed to have a GP week. I hope that will be useful. I'm not exactly keen on general practice.. but I think it'll be a worthwhile experience. ie: MUCH better than rehab/geries.


In other aspects, I have become.. hooked on badminton. OH NOOOOO. we played badminton just now.. and it was really really good! at least i dun suck at it anymore.. and can play a pretty decent game.. especially with the coaching from yvonne and alvin :) hoping to have more baddy sessions in sg.. i forsee drenched t shirts and high rehydration fluids in place... Sg is too hot for anything!

It's that vickaroo's bdae soon... (on monday!) but we are only celebrating on friday coz he has o&g exams to prepare for.. oh wells. but there's an ice cream cake! from baskin!..which we are picking up tmr. hurhur.

That's all for now. not sure if anyone is interested to know but yeaps.

PS: i'm looking forward to the holidays!... for days of blue skies, humid weather and good home cooked food are almost within my reach!....

oooh. that wasn't too difficult.

I thought adding a thing on the side of the blog layout would be too much to comprehend.. it's actually really simple! yay.

anyhow. rehab presentation in less than 2.5 hours.

*runs off to prepare.

such a surreal feeling

rehab writeup is DONE DONE DONE!

*jumps around like crazy person*

all i have to do is to present and talk about my patient for 10 minutes on friday. come on daphne that cannot be too difficult!

i can't wait to go back to sg!!!!

hooked on baddy!

just got home from badminton :)

have been playing it pretty regularly the past year.. it's really cool! and the past few weeks we have been playing with yvonne and alvin, both extremely good players. learnt alot of new strategies and strokes from them. this badminton thing is going really well.

maybe next year i will join the C div girls. heh. but i'm not sure if i want to partner vic in mixed doubles. he keeps scolding me as it is. argh. i can't wait for next year! more time to do stuff i wanna do.. maybe work one or two days a week for extra pocket money to fund my graduation trip..

anyhow back to rehab.

so so depressing :(

You can seriously find ANYTHING on youtube

Look what I found on youtube!

An extremely old theme song from an SBC (later called TCS..and now called mediacorp) drama titled 出人头地 (Which apparently translates to "the finishing line') I'm pretty sure I was barely 6 or 7 years old when it aired on the telly but this stupid song has haunted me from time to time! I always wondered where the heck I heard it now.. Now youtube has provided me with some closure to an almost life long mystery.

Check out how young the actors and actresses were! And check out how fashionable they are. hurhur. I think if you can get past the creepy hairdos and clothes.. you would come to appreciate how meaningful the lyrics are. Oh, plus how handsome and lean Li Nanxing used to be. I remembered my older cousin (who is 7 years older) reading the weekly magazine and cutting out his pictures whenever he was featured.

Ahhh.. such good times.


... I miss home a great deal.

i hate rehab!!!

been stuck in my room trying to finish my stupid rehab writeup.. it's proving to be a futile experience. firstly it's my own fault that i have forgotten quite abit about the patient, despite having made notes.. (so i have to make a trip back to hampstead) and 2ndly.. rehab just sucks.

it's so painful.

anyhow, on a happier note, i had dinner with tiffy + new bf, hans and victor. it was really fun to catch up over yummy greek food and great wine. den we walked over to hans' den and chilled out even more. drank tea, camwhored and laughed!

i wished that everyday is like that.

oh maybe minus all that horrible rain. i hate rain.

it's only less than 2 weeks to home! feel so happy. :)

i'm still alive.

Trust me, I still am :)

Been a crazy few weeks. Presentations, assignments and tutorials. I have no friggin' idea how I am going to be a doctor who works long hours and am still capable of using clinical reasoning.

At the end of a long day, I am nothing near reason.


Anyhow i think i have moved on, risen to some challenges and hopefully become a better human being for all of that. I'm just hoping I would stop ranting to my poor friends..

2 more weeks to singapore!

WOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

hong & chin: drinks drinks drinks! beach beach beach!.. drowned kitty? :)

Moon River..

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

i feel like bliss and happiness..

Victor surprised me today by doing the grocery shopping at central market.. all by himself! We were supposed to go together after my tutorial (which was from 2-3pm). He even went as far as walking me out of the house.. and then pretending to go to Rundle Street (for god knows what).

Anyhow, the fridge is full of yummy goodies from Central Market, including my favourite baked cheese cake from the little pastry shop.. whose name I can never remember. I have food to last me a week!

So now, instead of having to drag my lazy and tired self to the market (after a whole day of standing on my feet observing the anaesthetist.. plus an hour long of geries) I get to sit down, use the computer and enjoy my yummy cheese cake!

Mmmmm. the perks of being in a relationship :) thanks vickaroooooo!
